Monongahela Valley Hospital will hold its semiannual Multiphasic Blood Analysis Screening on Saturday, March 28, from 7 to 10 a.m. at the Anthony M. Lombardi Education Conference Center on the hospital campus. Registration is required.

On each blood sample, 37 individual tests will be performed that can reveal anemia, lung disease, diabetes, leukemia, high cholesterol, blood disorders and much more.

At no additional cost, the screening will also include a full lipid profile that will provide a total cholesterol number; triglycerides, which indicate the amount of free-floating fat in the blood; good and bad cholesterol levels (HDL and LDL); plus heart disease risk factors.

Other tests, including Hemoglobin A1C (blood test for diabetes), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), prostatic specific antigen (PSA), and Vitamin D will each be available for an additional cost.
